Description
Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat Parchment Pickup Set
The Seymour Duncan Scooped Strat delivers a distinctly voiced palette of single-coil character built on a foundation of extended treble and bass response. These underwound '50s-style pickups open up frequencies at both ends of the spectrum while pulling back the midrange, creating articulate highs and full lows that cut through a live mix with vintage warmth and modern separation—ideal for players who need their single-coil voice to sit confidently on stage.
Tonal Character & Frequency Response
The Alnico V magnets paired with the scooped EQ curve accentuate high and low frequencies while scaling back mids, producing a pickup set that excels at clean, shimmering tones and thick, resonant lows. This voicing works particularly well for clean and lightly overdriven tones where definition between notes matters—essential when you're performing in venues where note clarity and presence make the difference.
Specifications & Configuration
Each pickup in this three-piece set delivers precise DC resistance values—6.13k (Neck), 6.37k (Middle), and 7.23k (Bridge)—maintaining balanced output across all positions. The extended pole piece height design enhances magnetic coupling for improved sustain and responsiveness across the fretboard, translating to reliable performance night after night.
